With just 80 days to go until the 2012 London Olympics, the new "Give Your Everything" campaign was launched in Toronto Monday to give the public a peek into a side of Canadian Olympians they never get to see.
The campaign involves more than 50 of Canada' s outstanding Olympic hopefuls and their coaches from eight different sports, highlighting their inspirational efforts as they prepare to compete for Canada at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
